A blog where celebrity fact and fiction collide...Interviews with a twist... Ever wonder what it would be like to go back into the woods with Betsy Baker (Evil Dead)? Back to H wing with Val Lehman (Queen Bea) or even have a sleep over with Heather Langenkamp (Nightmare on Elm Street)? Well here is where you can experience it in all it's glory...

Wednesday, 27 January 2016

So, we'd discussed a few things, but now it was time to take it up a gear, as it were... So I got on with my questions...

It was a shock to me that it wasn’t Crispin [Glover] in Back
to the Future 2…

“The whole thing was a little bit of a tight spot
for me, at the screen test Robert Zamekis said to Dean Cundy “What do you
think Dean?” And Dean replied “I think we have Crispin without the trouble”…”

Oooh… Now I
had to get more juice on Crispin Glover…

“Apparently Crispin was a bit of a pain on the first shoot. I was
actually told by my make-up artist that Crispin was out and I was going to be
playing George!"

Oh crikey!

“Yes, so I played George, but I was always in the background, or slightly
out of focus, or being obscured by the shade… In the

scene when you're watching
from principal Stricklands office and I'm knocking Biff out in the
car park of the high school… Are you following me?..."

I’ve seen that film about 100 times… Yes, I totally knew what scene he was talking about! I nodded excitedly.

“… I'm there, skewered by the shade… Often, when you see the make-up, it looks kind of odd... so that's why they didn't do
you close-ups…

They did edit in a couple of close-ups of Crispin from the first film though. Later on Crispin called me and said “It's not right that they reuse this
footage of me from the first film and spliced you in! And they didn't pay me
much for it! Plus they wouldn't negotiate, so they made you up to look like
me." I had to agree.

Then, when I asked if I could promote myself and even get better billing, the
producers shot me down... They didn't want anyone to know that there was another
actor [playing George] as they had already advertised that the whole cast was coming back to
reprise their roles... So it was a very sticky situation for me. I even had Spielberg
one they come up to me on the set and say "Crispin I see you got your
million dollars" and I was like "What?!"

I finally negotiated a shared title card/credit, although the producers
would have just preferred to have me without a credit and keep me a
secret, because they didn't want Crispin to sue… Which of course he did!”

But of course Crispin was not the only one that was replaced? Elizabeth
Shue replaced Claudia Wells in BTTF 2 as Marty’s girlfriend Jennifer.

“Ahh but they didn't say make Elizabeth to look like Claudia, they just
give her clothes in the wig…”

Ah yes… No prosthetics needed…

“She was a great girl she was just a delightful spirit… And Claudia is
pretty wonderful too!”

So, why was Claudia replaced with Elizabeth?

“There were lots of stories... maybe she could lose some weight was one... But I know
that her mother was suffering from cancer at that time and she didn't have the
bandwidth to come back. But know it broke her heart.”

And I know that Michael J Fox replaced Eric Stolz…

“Yeah, but they originally wanted Michael J Fox! But he wasn't allowed out of
the first season of Family Ties - I believe the actress Meredith Baxter [who
played the mother] was pregnant and they didn't want to let any of the cast
members go, so they could cover for her while she went on maternity leave.

You know the producers there didn't even tell Michael that Universal
wanted him for that for this film… It
was offered to Ralph Macchio, and quite a few other actors too, but then the studio
kind of forced Eric Stoltz on them, because he was hot right off of ‘Mask’- there was an buzz that he was going to get an Academy award for it..."

And Eric was a more intense Marty?

"Eric was a method actor, in fact he always wanted to be referred to
as Marty on the set… He was moody and didn't bring the lightness that Michael
brought."

What about the brilliant Christopher Lloyd?

"When they offered Christopher Lloyd the script he was going to be a
serious stage actor in a play with Colleen Dewhurst, so when he got the script
he threw it in the garbage…

In the meantime universal looked at all sorts of people for the
character including Dudley Moore, Chevy Chase, John Lythgow and Jeff Goldblum…
Yes, there were a lot of people consider for Doc Brown.

One of the people who auditioned for George McFly stood out for me was
Johnny Depp!!”

Johnny Depp? Really?! Goodness!

What was Christopher Lloyd like? He has a very iconic and distinct character
style - from Doc Brown to Taber in Cuckoo’s nest and Ignatowski in Taxi - is he really like that?!

“He is very quiet around people he doesn't know. [When I met him] I said
‘Hello I'm a big fan’ and then we kind of looked at each other for a few
minutes… I felt uncomfortable… and he felt uncomfortable and finally I just
laughed, but it wasn't for another 12 years, when we
were starting to do the cast reunions and I got really to hang out with Chris.

There was one event at a theatre where they were screening the trilogy,
Chris and I were both in the projectionist booth at the theatre and we spent a
good half an hour just sitting and chatting, he opened up a great deal more… I
mean he’s still not all that talkative, but he really is a friendly kind man.”

I’m glad.

“I've done several films with him now, including (The Chateau Meroux (2011) and The
Boat Builder (2015)) and every time I see him I get a hug.”

He's a real gentleman and it's nice to say that I'm friends with
him”

Now they call October the first 2015 Back to the Future Day… But if you
think about it, it's really Back to the Future TWO day?

"It is!"

So, there were so many predictions for 2015 and so many they got right!

"Yeah, they got side of 50% or 60% of their predictions correct!"

Did you ever wonder if any of the technology featured might actually be
reality in 2015?

“I love the thought of flying cars! I actually knew that they had flying
cars already at that time, there was an automobile museum in San Diego, and in
its collection they had a boat/plane/car from the 1950s, and photos of it
flying! Unfortunately that prototype burned with the museum back in the
early 90s, so I thought ‘Yeah by maybe 2015 they might have flying cars...’”

It’s a shame, isn’t it?

“Some of the inventions were pretty far-fetched - the fruit conveyance
that came down from the ceiling with fresh fruit growing on it… and the
hydrator the made the pizza in four seconds... We did have microwaves then
though, which wasn't too far from that...

That set was art directed within an inch of its life! They spent a
fortune on all the gadgets but I would say probably 40% of them never made it
to the screen.”

That’s a shame….

“Yeah, I had a very cool watch the never made it to the screen and a
jacket...”

I just thank god the double tie trend didn’t catch on!

“Well Joanna Johnston who was the costume designer took really great
care find the materials that felt futuristic, she went out of her way to
finding the material for my trousers… you can't really tell because I'm hanging
upside down as old George… They weren’t quite luminescent, but when the light
hit them they reflected! She's more recently got the Academy award for
Lincoln.”

Fabulous!

“All the costumes you see on the Hill Valley residents were amazing, there is a bit of the 1980s ‘big shoulder’
feel to the lot of them, if you read the ‘Back to the Future: The Visual
History’ by Michael Klastorin check to see the designs that Joanne came up
with… They’re just remarkable.”

How do you feel about it being 2015 now?

“It is pretty amazing that according to the film we’re actually all
in the past now...”

Now this film bridges the gap between ‘geeks’ and ‘norms’ and not many
films can claim that!… Everybody loves BTTF!

“The stories transcend time, they're very family friendly and actually
you don't clearly have act one, two and three; the first film is George’s
story, the second film is Marty’s and
the third is Doc’s story. And at the heart
of all three films is this relationship between an older and young man… and we
haven’t seen that innocence since in the 70s! These days you wouldn’t have that
without some derogatory, or even maybe sexual undertones… There is the
great friendship and some great innocent love between the Doc and Marty, and that really transcends a lot of material
out there…"

So back to shooting the movie, how long will you actually hanging upside
down?

“Over a two week period it was almost daily, because the shots around
the kitchen table took forever to shoot! This was because the camera we were
working with could splice the film, so Michael could play multiple roles… The
days were extremely long and Michael had to get in and out of costume and make
up.

We had [up to] 26 hour long days and it would take me 3 1/2 hours just
to get into make-up!I think it took us, from getting outside the front door of
the McFly house through the kitchen scene, the better part of two weeks.”

You were up there for two weeks!

“They didn't like getting me down from the apparatus because it was time
consuming, they really wanted to keep things moving because it was a very
expensive shoot.

Dan from Industrial Light and Magic - my sort of ‘handler’ - got a
ladder and build a board on one of the top rungs so I could do a, sort of, sit
up, and when Zemeckis would call cut, he would move this ladder underneath me… But they would leave me up there while
everyone was going get a coffee I'll be on the set alone, twiddling my
thumbs going “Hello! Is anybody here?!””

But didn’t you get terribly dizzy?

“Oh yeah there were times when it was pretty tough, both on my vertigo
and my equilibrium… And on my back!”

So you didn't come down at all?!

“Well, sometimes... Especially for meal…
I didn't like to eat when I was up there!

I was hanging upside down once a crew member came up to me and
said “You know all this is torture was meant for Crispin!””

OOH! So really wasn't liked onset?

“Crispin had a sort of stubborn way about
him… For example he wouldn't let the

make-up team actually cut his hair… I
heard that Ken Chase was trimming Crispin’s hair once when he was dozing in the
make-up chair, but Crispin woke up and flipped out! He also disappeared for a weekend
when he was needed for a shot and it was nowhere to be found...

But then Crispin told me stories about how the producer made him cry in front
of extras… So I have sob stories from both sides. It's quite unfortunate
that this sort of hillbilly feud it's still going on between Bob Gale and
Crispin Glover… I say Bob is probably a multimillionaire and Crispin Glover is
pretty well off - he's got a castle in The Czech republic - and they should
both get over it and do something worthy, by giving the fans what they want,
which is an appearance at a fun event like Comecon, maybe do some fundraising
for Michael's charity.”

Now, I have two ask about Clint Eastwood… He’s a cinematic legend what
was that like?

“It was quite wonderful as I mentioned, earlier [in part 1] that I had a very hot agent
in the early 80s and she a rapport with and Lauren Lloyd over at Warner
Brothers, she said we have something in this new Clint Eastwood film. So my
agent asked them to describe it to us and it was a character that I could
fit the bill for. I think got the role at the 11th hour because the very next week I went to Sun
Valley Idaho to shoot for for five weeks on location… But of course as soon as
I got there a blizzard moved in we got hold up in the hotel!

I was just about shoot my first scene and I hadn’t met Clint yet, so
while he was scouting his next shot I followed him down the road were the crew
were setting up… Clint turned to me and said “Yeah?” and I said “Oh Mr Eastwood
I just want to introduce myself, I'm Jeffrey Wiseman, I'm working with you in
the next scene” and he replied “I know, who you are, who do you think hired
you?

Clint was the gentleman, he had a lot of first class people on set, but
I remember for some reason he didn't like the first caterer, so he got fired and
the very next day the new catering staff came in. So I'm sitting with Clint, in in a
blizzard, on top of this mountain, having steak and lobster… Obviously the new guy wanted to impress Clint.

But over the course of the shoot I had lots of fun conversations with
him, jokes and good meals, he really is a gentleman a very hard worker. He
learnt from Don Seigel - the director one of the early dirty Harry movies - to
shoot rehearsals, so if you get what you

needed in the rehearsal, you can
move on without even doing a take! I
remember us doing that for one of the crucial scenes, where my character is crying over my dead
daddy's body. The actor playing my brother didn't have his Mark… and I had
to take his and almost kicked Doug McGrath in the head because I slipped… and I
said to Clint “Chuck didn't hit his mark… This and this didn't go right” but he
said “No, it looks fine, we'll just cut from your face…” and I couldn't argue
with that!”

Did you ever tell Michael during BTTF3 that, in fact, he
was the second Clint Eastward you had worked with?!

“I unfortunately only had one little scene in Back to the Future part
three… And that didn't occur to me, even
though he is in the poncho in the scene that I'm in! - When he returns to the
McFly household and we have a little gathering and Biff is there polishing the
car -I didn't think to ask Michael about that, but it would've been nice to.”

What do you think George McFly would been doing now?

Actually that's an odd quality because, in George's case, now is
then…

“I think that's been answered in the film... He liked playing golf, he was a successful writer of science fiction books and is a family man and he
is…

Hanging upside down?

Well his back is better anyway...”

I was beginning to get the impression, by all the shifty looks while he was talking, that Jeffrey was lacking confidence with my machine... So I thought, well now is better than ever to try it out and prove to him that I wasn't crazy .

So I got into my specially made space suit - I say specially made... I got my mum to sew it from some old silver curtains and reflector patches - and got in the car - unlike in the film there was no grand opening of wing like doors, and no dry ice effect... Just me, opening the door and getting in... I should have made in more theatrical I thought... Damn.

"Right" I instructed Jeffrey, "You stay here and document everything you see." I set the destination and return time on the dashboard "I'm heading back to the old west and should be back here in, as you perceive, instantaneously... So hold on to your hat, anything could happen... I'll bring you back a souvenir"

I slowly backed out of my drive and down the road a little; I had plenty of room...

I revved the engine and with a last thumb up out the window to Jeffrey, sped off... Getting to 45miles an hour wasn't going to take long to achieve! I got faster and faster... 35... 40...41...43...44...45... Then a flash... A loud boom... Then a crack...and then a clunk... and a splutter... Oh crap! Something had gone terribly wrong... Where was I?! When was I??!!! And what the hell had happened to my time machine?!

So this is a message to whomever has found it... Please can you meet Jeffrey Weissman, who will be standing on my drive at 9303 Lyon Drive, Lyon Estates, Hill Valley CA on the 21st October 2015 at approximately 2:30pm and tell him thank you... But best go home, because I don't think I'll ever get back to the interview...

Wednesday, 13 January 2016

The date is 1885, I'm writing this
by candlelight in a small wooden shack, deep in the heart of the American Wild West. If you are reading this then it should be October in the year 2015... The month and year that I left
your time - seven months ago today.

It also means that you have discovered the box that I left underneath, what will be the the town’s swimming pool. Which, if my calculations are correct, should have started it's building works 3 days before I left... As long as my
disappearance hasn't disturbed the space time continuum that is....

Let me explain...

I had run an advert in the local paper asking for a time traveller
to help me with a little project I was working on.

I wanted someone with experience - however minimal - to assist me. I would be time
travelling alone at first, but I needed an assistant to document every action, every
problem... Every success! And it had to be someone I could trust.

So the interview day finally came, I had received quite a varied collection of applicants for the post,
which I had managed to whittle down to 10 candidates.

The first person to enter was a man who called himself 'The Doctor'.... "Who?" I had
asked... "Exactly" he replied. He seemed personable enough, but warned me that he could change at any minute and I needed stability. So...

... Next!

The next was a middle aged, nervous looking gentleman, in what appeared to be a dressing gown, eating peanuts and carrying a
towel... "Well if he couldn't even be bothered to get dressed for an interview" I thought, "What was he going to be like while at work?!"

Next!

And after a hodgepodge of geeks and weirdo's, crazies and people thinking this was some elaborate TV windup show, I had almost given up... But then he walked
in... A man who in a way had been time travelling for years... A man who had
been in the past, in the future and back again, yes this was the man I was
looking for... This man was Jeffrey Weissman... And he was just perfect!

Jeffrey Weissman (born October 2, 1958) is an American actor. He has appeared in dozens of motion pictures and TV shows, most notably as George McFly in Back to the Future Part II and III with Michael J. Fox, and as Teddy Conway in Pale Rider with Clint Eastwood.

He sat down on the chair adjacent
to me and smiled... It was only then I realised that I had been grinning from ear to
ear and staring at him for an uncomfortably long time... How embarrassing, I apologised and explained how I thought he would
be perfect for this, and then began my well rehearsed sales patter...

"This is a fabulous opportunity
for the right person to experience first-hand the mysteries of time travel...
First as an observer and safety officer as I, alone will take the first leap, and then as
my companion through time! You must be physically fit and have an open mind...
If this is for you then stay, if not then please leave now" I closed my
eyes and crossed my fingers tightly, praying that when I reopened then he would still be
there... And, thank the lord, when I finally did, there he was, looking
a little more perplexed than before, but still there...

"So let's
hear a little bit about you..." So how did you get started in the world of showbiz?

“I
was always the little ham as a child!

I
was playing stories and entertaining at the family dinner table, so when I was
old enough [about 7] I played in a little local parks & recreation
production pageant for Easter. And really early on, I had a babysitter I was
quite fond of. She took me to a private
card game and backgammon club that my father ran where we met Omar Sharif, who was playing there... I saw my babysitter go
google eyed over him. Then right after, we went and saw him in a movie at the
Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, I saw her
flip out and go google eyed again – it was as if this [being an actor] was how
to get her attention. As I said, I was
quite fond of her, so, I think that influenced me.

I
started taking it seriously, and took to the stage in about 7th
grade - aged 12 or 13. At school I played Shakespearean roles, and was in a
variety of stage productions. So I got the bug and I knew I wanted to be an
actor.

Growing
up in LA, I would stumble upon sets for TV shows shooting on location. I
remember meeting actors and getting advice, one character actor went through my
report card grades with me, and he said “You got an A in speech and English,
and a B in history, but you got a D in math. You can't get a D in math. How are
you going to know if your agent’s screwing you!?!!”

The
comedian/actor Don Adams played at my dad’s club too, and father asked him for
advice for me - “Wally, tell him to
forget about it…it’s 10% talent and 90% good luck, being in the right place at
the right time.”

But
I continued pursuing the industry. I got
my foot in the door at major studios by doing extra work [‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’, 'The Rose',
'Fastbreak', 'FM' and ‘Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band’] . I mostly did background bits, but it was very
exciting to get on those sets and major studio lots, but ultimately it’s not
very fulfilling if you want to sink your teeth into a part.

I
had a very well respected casting director tell me, “You have talent, but you
need to get training,” so I chose to attend the American Conservatory Theatre
in San Francisco, in the early 80s”.

Sage advice! And from there your career properly took
off?

“While
I was doing my intermediate studies for the MFA program, I happened into an
opportunity to screen test for a lead in a major film, named “the Genius” with the director Martin Brest helming.
Martin liked me for the lead role, and he gave me a screen test. I ended up not
landing the role, but he mentioned me to a very good agent, who signed me and
had me move back to Los Angeles. By the way, the film was retitled ‘War
Games’.”

Ah… You don’t need a time machine to know what happened
next…

“A
year later, I was on my way to screen test for a film called “Ladyhawke” which
I really wanted badly… but once again Matthew Broderick got that…”

Darn!

“Yes,
I played characters for several years at renaissance faires and in several
Shakespeare plays and I really wanted to do a period screenplay like that, so
that was a bit of a heartbreak, but at least it was getting close to breathing
the rarified air of starring in a big studio feature.

My
1st co-starring role was in the fourth segment of the Twilight Zone
the Movie, the remake of “Nightmare at 30,000ft”, directed by George Miller,
the wonderful Australian director who made “Fury Road” and other Mad Max
movies… I’m on the airplane with John Lithgow where the creatures on the wings
of the airplane…”

Ah yes, the Shatner remake! Then..?

“I guest starred on several Television shows,
Dallas, Max Headroom, Scarecrow & Mrs King and a Diagnosis Murder episode
with Dick Van Dyke…I told him I remember thinking as a child, ‘I wanted to grow
up to be him!’… That stopped him in his tracks!

Dick was friendly because I had come to the
set with an alpaca sweater that I had found at a second hand store, a golfers
sweater that had the 'Dick van Dyke'labelon it. He said “I totally forgot that I’d lent my
name to those people back in 61!” I also struck up this rapport because I had
played Stan Laurel (Who Dick was very close to, and admired very
much). I played Stan at Universal
Studios in Hollywood between 87 and 2001. (I also playedCharlie ChaplinandGroucho Marx)”

So, we have to talk about your appearance in Back to the
future two and three, famously replacing Crispin Glover… How did the cast and
crew react to you as the new George?

“One
of the first people I met on set was Michael J Fox, and he looked at me in the
young George McFly make up and said “Crispin ain't going to like this.” So, it
was awkward, but within a day or so Michael warmed to me, we spent time
hanging out in his trailer and even in
public, at a grill in Studio City."

I have to admit I blubbed all the way through Michael J
Fox’s autobiography… What was he like?

“He
is smart, friendly, opinionated, good natured, and a wonderful soul... He’s a
great guy who loves working, telling stories and he has a gusto for life.”

Was there any indication of his Parkinson’s during
filming?

“I
had suspicions that his rigorous filming schedule was really taking its toll on
him, during the day he was doing the final season of Family Ties and during the
night we had him on Back to the Future 2 & 3. I said “Michael, when do you
sleep?” and he stated, “In the limo on the ride in between studios” - We were at
Universal, and Family Ties shot at Paramount which was about 20 minutes away.

I’m
sure he napped in his trailer, between shots and in the makeup chair before
shoots in the morning. We usually had a three to four hour daily stint in make
up to apply the different age make ups.
Michael said, shortly after the shooting of Part 3, he noticed that his
pinky started to twitch, which is a sign of PD's onset, but he didn’t get diagnosed for a couple of
years after.”

It’s amazing that he is still working today!

"Like
I said, he loves to work! He’s a
workaholic methinks. In fact in Part 3, little Seamus McFly was supposed to be
played by Crispin, and when Crispin didn’t come back to do the role, they gave
the role to Michael, (as if he didn’t have enough to do). He's kept himself
busy, even to this day.”

When was the last time you saw him?

"I
saw him in London at the London Film & Comic Con in July, 2015.

There
I told him about the fund raising BTTF cruise I was producing for Team

Fox, and
his jaw dropped and he said “far out – so glad you’re doing this”. Though he mentioned straightaway, “I can’t
go on boats, the Parkinson’s won’t allow that.” But he autographed a lot of items which we put in
the charity auction on the cruise. Mike was going to Skype onto the cruise, but it turned out he couldn't do
it as he was triple booked already that week, (the big Fox Foundation fall
fund raising event, the Board of Directors meeting, and a film shoot). We didn’t get him Skyped in on the cruise as
he had hoped he could do, but we got Frances Lee McCain (who played Lea
Thompson's character, Lorraine Baines' Mother, 'Stella') skyped in and we had
seven of the cast and crew from the films on board. The passengers, and
celebrities across the board, had a great time.
Many of our passengers even got to meet Christopher Lloyd the night
before we sailed at the Ft Lauderdale Film Festival, where I managed to get the
indie film 'The Boat Builder', that he stars in, to premiere."

Wow, he really is incredible!

So is it true that you filmed 2 and 3 together?

"It
was more back to back – though while we were shooting 2, 3 was in pre-production
and then when they started shooting 3, Zemeckis was furiously editing pt 2 at
night!

Ah I thought there must be something like that because it’s
the only film I’ve seen with a trailer for the sequel at the end of it!"

So did you have to learn both the scripts at the same
time?

“Originally
both scripts were one, under the title 'Paradox'. (they titled it thus to avoid
people knowing it was the Back to the Future sequels, and knowing it was the
highest grossing film of 1985, they might charge extra for rentals, and
services.)

I
suspect the studio and producers
realised they could also double making their money by fleshing the
script out by making two films."

I
checked my watch, my god we'd been chatting for ages... I thought from the
moment he walked into the room that he was the one, but now I knew it...
"You wanna' see my machine?" I asked him.

We entered the
garage and I threw back the tarpaulin that kept my 'machine' hidden... It was based on a
car, just like in Back to the Future, although unlike the film I didn't have
the funds for a Delorean... So my time machine was built into a cherry red
1987 Yugo... Not the best choice of car, I know, but within my tiny budget. I had set the speed
for time travel for 45miles per hour to compensate for the lack of horse power, so I needed to be careful on the road, but I was sure it was going to work, I had done all the checks and I was positive.

I looked at Jeffrey, he didn’t look totally convinced... So I thought I'd
deflect him with another question about his career.

So, how did you get the part in BTTF?

“It’s a bit of a story…”

I have a time machine I thought… I have all the time in the world!

“In
brief, the agent that had helped me get a part playing Stan Laurel at Universal
Tour, had a look-a-like agency – the production had called the agent for a
stand in for Michael J Fox and Crispin Glover.
So he called me and asked if I knew who Crispin was, and I said “Sure”
and he said “do you think you’re the same height and weight?” I said “no
Crispin is taller than me and probably a little heavier” and asked "Why, is this
for BTTF sequels?”, he said “I’m not at liberty to say”. I told him I need the work to earn my medical
coverage since my wife was pregnant with our second child, and said "get me in there..."

I
had already done several films; 'Pale Rider' with Clint Eastwood, George
Miller's segment of 'Twilight Zone the Movie' with John Lithgow, Amy Heckerling's 'Johnny Dangerously' with Michael Keaton, Louis Malle 's 'Crackers' the with Sean Penn, and others, so I had
experience for production to take me seriously. After meeting with the assistant
directors, I was sent to casting.

I
read for them the scene where Marty and George are hanging the laundry in the
backyard from the 1st script… and I suppose that went well, because
the next call I got was to go in for makeup prosthetic fittings.

Then
I needed to check the make up in a screen test for director Robert Zemeckis and cinematographer, Dean Cundy."

You know when I first watched sequel, didn’t know it was a different person!

“You’re not alone!”

When we get back to the Interview...
